See the 10 top-selling Pokemon cards products of the last month
Nearly a year after its release, Pokemon 151 continues to showcase staying power by holding three spots in the top 10 of August’s sealed Pokemon Trading Card Game products.
That’s according to TCGplayer, which recently released data meant to show which sets are popular now with players and collectors.
Predictably, booster boxes for Pokemon’s newest Scarlet & Violet set, Stellar Crown, are No. 1 following by Twilight Masquerade, which features chase-worthy cards such as the pricy Greninja.
Then comes Pokemon 151 at spot Nos. 3 (Ultra Premium Collection), 7 (booster bundle) and 8 (Elite Trainer Box). 151 continues to come back into stock in small batches, and it’s clear demand remains high.
August was also release month for another special set, Shrouded Fable, which hasn’t performed nearly as well as predecessors 151 and Paldean Fates. Shrouded Fable’s Elite Trainer Box came in at No. 5 and the Greninja special collection at 10.
TCGplayer is more upbeat about Stellar Crown’s chances in the market.
“Stellar Crown has the same problem as other Scarlet & Violet sets: it focuses on Gen IX characters and Pokémon who aren’t as recognizable to millennials and casual fans as earlier Pokémon generations,” the website reads. “But the dazzling colors in Special Illustration Rare cards like Terapagos ex, the Illustration Rare versions of Squirtle and Bulbasaur, and the trend of tougher pull rates in recent sets might all combine to turn Stellar Crown into another surprise hit.”
